First off its "you're". If you're going to call someone an idiot don't be one yourself.

Lol you were saying? I did and it clearly says "of any kind." In English that means never, ever, ever, no matter what including street, auto, RR, hill climb, etc etc. and I'm the idiot haha.

Preloading springs on a MLS is properly done using coilovers that are not only height adjustable but also allows you to adjust the spring perch independently.
Depending on your setup, and spring rates you may not preload all your suspension when corner balancing, and in some cases you might have to add helper springs for corners that have none at all.

Hopefully this is helpful to you, or anyone else that might be looking at this dribble you continue to spout.

Or if you would rather the words of the internet;
Spring Pre-Load - Compressing a spring in advance of adding a load. For example taking a spring with a 100 pound linear spring rate, preloaded one-quarter inch, would take twenty-five pounds of force before it would further compress. In effect not moving until 26 pounds of force were applied, and only moving one-quarter inch when 50 pounds of force were applied, as opposed to the half inch the spring would have normally moved. The spring rate however has not changed, as it would continue compressing one-quarter inch for every additional 25 pounds of force applied throughout the active length of the spring, until the coils touched each other (bound).

By the way synolimit do you have a youtube channel or video links of your driving on a track, or autocrossing?

You clearly know nothing about my setup because you refuse to read what I write! You call me out on weighing a car when the post you quoted showed the weight right there! How can it be off when its clear as day in a pic? Can you do basic math and see?

I've never said I had traction issues. I have a 300 utqg tire and a 57/43 weight ratio so it's not as good as it could be. No **** that's how you adjust height and pre load on a coilover! Hence why I asked what I asked then said ill just buy the FA shock! You seriously don't read and just like to start ****.

If and when I talk to you, you can respond. 350 got what I was saying and understood. Nothing in this thread have I said anything wrong, lied or incorrect. You've called me out 2-3 times on stuff when you don't have the facts or you just like to start ****. I've proved you wrong about my weight cause you called me a liar and yet you still try to start **** by saying the scales off when I ******* provided you proof that it wasn't. You're the only one here saying BS that your nismo, with you, and full tank was 3200! Then you gain 114lbs without you in the car without a full tank on another scale, so who wants to hear all your crap? I've at least been consistent. Get the **** out of here troll.
